Santa Anna’s Hacienda.— An extract i
from a letter dated Puebla, and published in the
Muscogee Democrat, states that “the Georgia .
Regiment completely stripped the private resi- ‘ f
dence of Santa Anna of every valuable it con- ;
tained and that Gen, Scott had sent them
word that if he could catch them he would
hang every one of them,” &c.
We take pleasure in stating, on the authority
of several respectablo gentlemen connected
with the regiment, and who accompanied it on
its countermarch from Jalapa to Vera Cruz,
that the above report is wholly unfounded in 1
sacs, and does great injustice to both the officers i
and men of the Regiment. The damage was i
all done before the Georgians reached the Ha
cienda, and was either the work of the Mexi
cans themselves, or, of the other volunteers ‘
who were in the advance. That the property I
• was greatly damaged is true, but the Georgians j
had no participation in the affair.
Journal <s• Messenger.
There is a slight mistake in the above, from the ‘
‘ Messenger.’ The writer did not say that the Geor- j
gia. Regiment did perpetrate the outrage, but merely.J
that such was the current report at l’nebla, avowing
at the same time his belief that it was false. We are
glad to learn that his belief was correct, and he will
rejoice in its confirmation.
Gen. Taylor. —The N. O. ‘ Delta ’ of the
2d inst. says :
A gentleman who recently arrived here from Mon
terey, had an interview with Gen. Taylor immediate
ly before he left. The General told him it was not \
his intention to advance on San Lnis Potosi, but that
it was his fixed determination to resign his command
on the Ist of Sept. next.
If this be true, we shall soon have it in our
power, probably, to make known the politicalj
views of the General, which arc now so much j
in doubt among politicians. But wc cannot say
wc like the idea of Old Zach giving up his com- |
maud by the Ist Sept. True, he might as well j
come home as stay where he is, in “masterly
inactivity,” (for he does nothing in any other way j
than masterly,) but we had much rather hear of
his being promptly reinforced and pushing on to
the capital of Mexico via San Luis Potosi.
Things are in rather a critical situation, in the
interior, to allow of Gen. Taylor’s return, just
yet. Besides that, the prestige of his great
name is still wanted to keep down such pot-val-1
liant heroes as Urrea and Canales on the west!
of the Rio Grande. We hope, therefore, if Gen.
Taylor docs resign within 60 days, that, previous
to that time, the war will have been brought to
a close and a permanent peace secured.
Later. —Four days later from CJen’l Taylor ]

his mind, as to resigning his command on the
Ist Sept., and that he. expected soon to lie rein

A Valuable Recife.—The following method hy
which
■ “ Much honor,
Picked from the chuff and mill of the time-,
To lie netc varnished,”
may be made to look as bright and unsullied as a
“ pewter dollar in amud-lmle ” on a moon-lit night, is
positively the latest and most approved stylo of doing
up such matters.
First.—Select out your opponent from the higher
walks of life, and set a watch to discover a “ damna
ble inuendo” or “soft impeachment,” about which it
will do to chop logic. Then send off a private mes
senger with a private note, to a point 100 miles oil!
demanding an explanation of the insuiting insinuation
or its immediate retraction. Receive a reply not al
together satisfactory, hut sufficient to keep tip the
correspondence for a week or two. In the mean time
select your Surgeon and a friend or two—to act as
private Secretary, Attendant, &c. Borrow, myste
riously, three jiair of hair-trigger pistols—one rifle
and the necessary appurtenances—and repair to the
negro grave yard or the river hank, duly and daily, for
the purpose of practice at target shooting, at a half
inch tape line. ‘Take off your coat and go to work
like a man. Keep firing at the said tape-line until
you can cut the same 13 times out of Id. Give the
wink to your aids to take due notice of your skill and
of the Certainty of death to any man who v ill dare’to
stand before you in a duel, with the caution to them,
however, not to toll this to every body. When you
have exercised the nerves of your right, arm sufficient
ly after this fashion, then find a pretext for breaking
off the correspondence, abruptly, and send a formal
challenge to your antagonist. On the supposition
that he accepts, take stage for the future scene of op-’
erations, and be ready for any emergency. If it should i
happen that your antagonist selects the rifle for his
weapon at 30 paces, instead of the pistol at 10 paces. !
why all you have to do, is to suggest the propriety of
re-opening the correspondence and referring the same
to a hoard of honorable men for their decision. This |
will probably be acceded to, as few men really like to
go into hostile combat, especially about a trifle, unless
forced into it. Accordingly, the board of honor will
take a private room, at Milledgcville, or other conven
ient place, duly ponder upon the “dots” and “ points”
involved in the correspondence, and in due season,
make a report after the following pattern “ Card
“We the undersigned, In whom was referred tile

ing out of certain remarks made l>y the latter which the
said Doe bejieved were intended, hy the said Hoe, to im
pugn the said Doe’s honor, as a man-and a gentleman, are
pleased to make the communication that the whole affair !
has been honorably and satisfactorily adjusted.

Having obtained this certificate that the varnishing

This recipe, it is said, if faithfully carried out, ill

Official Abuses.—rA correspondent enquires
| why it is that our county Jail is now guarded by
i a platoon of men, at a great expense to the tax
j payers 1 The necessity for such a guard is not
; apparent when it is known that Butler is con*
i fined in chains, in the dungeon ; nor was it the
j custom in the days of Doper and other Jailors to
have such a guard detailed to assist that officer in
the discharge of his duty.
We know nothing of the nature of the com-]
plaint that i? thus made to us, but have heard it i
whispered that the Guard is necessary, not only
to keep an eye on the Jailor, who is himself a
; prisoner “on the limits,” but to guard the Jail
during the hours ol relaxation which this gentle.
; man is accustomed to take at “ Barneys” between
sunset and sunrise!
Official Insolence. —The Post Master at

tire of one of our subscribers to take his paper
I outijfijJiat office. Instead of assigning a reason
il he Knows any, according to his instructions,
he indulges in the supposition , that the subscri
bert“does not set a very high estimate on the
paper—no accounting for tastes.” However,
we could hardly expect any greater civility from
this P. M. He is the same individual, who was
| once mobbed in Columbus, for his treatment of a
Lady whom lie caused to be taken with a bail
writ for debt and thrown into prison ! If we are

How these Whig Editors love each other !—
| J. J. Hooper, Esq., Editor of the Alabama Jour
nal, thus speaks of his brother of the Selma Re
porter : “ The author of this attack, by inuendo, ]
upon my character, is J. L. Chapman—a libel
lous scoundrel, who, secure in his priestly gar
ments from the horse-whippings to which other
calumniators are liable, traduces every one with
whom he has any disagreement.” Wonder if
‘Suggs’ would have been so plain-spoken, if it
had not been for those same ‘priestly garments’l
He may find out, however, that Chapman is one
of the Parson Brownlow breed of game cocks,;
before he is done with him. Keep cool, Mes
sieurs, and ‘do not let your angry passions rise.’
Fannin Avengers. —A public dinner was
given to this company, at Griffin, on Saturday ;
last, at which Col. Jackson was present and :
made a brilliant speech. Three thousand stran
gers attended from the country. The “Jefferso

I he Fannin Avengers left, one year ago, nearly
100 strong —and now scarcely 30 remain ! Ev

Mrs. Myers’ Example. —lt is stated in the |
Alabama Journal that the conduct of Mrs. Win. i
ston, whose guilty intimacy with Dr. Perrv of
Sumter county, Ala. led to the death of Ae latter,
was, in a great degree, *<tributnMe ivffu
ence produced on her mind by the reading of]
Mrs. Myers’ letters to lloyt. She, 100, wished ■
to write letters which should be circulated, read -
and admired. The N. \. Herald has given one ]
of Perry’s letter to her.
Painful Accident at Montgomery.—An!
accident took place at the State Capitol cm Sat-1
urdny last, which resulted in the death of two j
persons—Mr. Glenls and Mr. McCrary. It was ]
occasioned by the falling in of a part of the edi- ]
fice from under which two out of throe temporary
props had been removed, to lay the floor, and put
up the iron columns. The accident, it is said,
no way involves the character of the edifice for
durability or excellence, but of that the building
committee will make a report, shortly.
Next Legislature.
Messrs. Editors :—What is the Democracy
of Muscogee doing about bringing out candidates
for the next Legislature? Are we to suflir the
Whigs to walk over the course without opposi
tion ? If not, it is high time that our candidates

Presentments
of the Second panel of the Grand Jury of Muscogee Su
perior Court, May Term, 1817.
THE Jury have, since its attendance upon this
Court, been diligent in the perl--nuance
ties which they have considered incumbent
to discharge. Upon reviewing the Presentments ot
the panel which lias immediately preceded us, we
must beg leave respectfully to difier with that body ’n
their report of the general good order and condition
of the Roads ami Bridges. Wo have sought and ob
tained information from several highly respectable
sources, that they arc generally in a very had condi
tion, so much so as to he highly discreditable to the
county, the stage-road leading from this to Bartles
ville, particularly, a large portion of which, we are
informed, has not been worke don in five years. By
reference to the law, we observe there are three par
ties concerned in this matter; the first is the Interior
Court. We therefore earnestly call upon that body
to see that the officers under them faithfully discharge
their duties, or the penalties of the law rigidly enforc
ed against them.
In relation to the poof children, to which the Court
with much solicitude directed our nttentimi. we re
gret not being able to report any additional informa- i
tion to that submitted by the first panel, and slid inure
do we regret the necessity of again bringing to the
notice of the public, the almost total neglect ol a high
ly important duty devolving upon the Justices of the
several districts in the county, in failing to make re
turns of the poor children. We believe it to be the
duty of the Inferior Court under the Statute of 1813,
to require the said Justices to make their returns at
least once a year. Out of nine districts, only one, the
678th, lias been returned.
This Jury most heartily unite with the first panel
in recommending the purchase of a Farm, and the
erection of a Poor House thereon, which we cgnfi-;
dently believe would very soon greatly lessen the bur
then of tax for that purpose, and if kept uuder proper
superintendence, great benefits would undoubtedly re
sult from the same.
We cannot overlook the shameful condition of the
Court House, and the neglect of the trees planted in
the yard. We do hope the proper authorities will take
the necessary steps to remedy this continuous cause
of complaint.
We would respectfully call the attention of the next
Legislature to the law relating to white persons gam-
bling with slaves, and request them to so amend the
] s ame as to make the offence of gambling with a
; slave of equal magnitude in point of crime and pun
ishment to that of gambling with “slaves.”
We feel it our duly to direct the attention of the
proper tribunal to a certain individual that has been
j roving about onr streets for two or three years past,
known as “ crazy Reed.” He was for some time con
sidered harmless, but recently has not only become
, dangerous but a great nuisance.
Wc earnestly hope the Court will not omit to en
force the law, to the utmost extent, against the de
faulting Grand Jurors, as the duty of serving as Tabs-’
men frequently falls upon individuals tor several
| Courts in succession. ,
In closing our labors, we beg leave to tender to his :
I Honor, Judge Alexander, our profound respect for ]
the ability and impartial hianner in which he has dis
: charged tho duties incumbent upon him during the ;
j present Term. We also take great pleasure in x

The Vegetable Restorative,
OK
LIQUID CATHARTIC.
THIS Medicine is agreeable to take and ope
rates without griping or debilitating.
It is highly corrective and alterative in its effects,
producing consistent evacuations and thereby leaving
the bowels in a natural and good condition; and be
cause of this property in its combination, it does not
wear out like other cathartics, particularly such as the
most of Pills, many of which invariably produce co
pious and watery discharges, and leave the bowels in
a constipated state.
Nut so with this Medicine—it isn natural remedy,nciin?
with nature, aiding, not forcing: her in the performance of
her functions—•lienee for INDIGESTION or DYSPEP
SIA, it is highly valuable. It can he taken, with perfect
safety, by the most delicate and enfeebled, persons, chil
dren, or others. On account of its mildness, convenience,
und efficacy,it is destined to become, in public estimation,
what it has proved to he in private practice, a FAMILY or
DOMESTIC MEDICINE., suited to nil derangements of
the Stomach, und valuable whenever n Cathartic or Ape
rient is needed.
O 3 Persons who have long been compelled to take Pill*,
Oil*, or Sails, will find in this a pleasant and highly valu
able substitute.
It is not intended ns a remedy for all diseases that Flesh
is heir to-—but particularly tor I.TVER, and STOMACH
DERANGEMENTS, which may he. known by some or all
of the following symptoms:—
WnniofApjte.lite, Heart Burn , Cortivcnex*i Flatulence,
